Alright, alright. Due to the response to other questions stating that repeats have happened, etc., you asked, we answered. Hopefully better standard, non-repeat questions.

1. This film became the first ever Tamil film to be dubbed into German and it was released in several German-speaking countries as Der Geisterjäger (lit. The Ghost Hunters). As of 25 June 2007, this film became the longest ever running South Indian film, and still holds this record, completing 800 days at Shanthi Theaters (owned by the producer) in Chennai, passing the record of the Haridas (1944). Identify the film.

2. Sitter: According to Grady Hendrix of slate.com, if a tiger had sex with a tornado and then their tiger-nado baby got married to an earthquake, their offspring would be who?

2)He was stabbed by a prostitute to the point where his entrails hung in the open. He survived. Nobles poisoned him with cyanide enough to kill five men . He survived. Then they shot him four times and still he lived. What's more, he even tried to strangle one of them whispering “ You bad boy”. Then he was clubbed thrice and castrated. The bound him, rolled him in carpet and threw him into a river. Finally he died. When the recovered his body they found he had broken his bonds and was dead only by drowning in the icy river. Who?

UPDATE: Questions shall now be put up on the blog every week (duration of posting may vary depending upon the number of questions involved), on Sundays. They will be in normal blogular format, with slides put up when necessary (for LVC's and what not).

This week's question contributors include:

(questions two and three) Keyser "man who is bound to bell that darned CAT" Sticky, and

(question one) myself.

1) Connect the two:

a) The X is a non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government established in 2009 to regulate and inspect health and social care services in England. All health and adult social care providers that come within the future scope of registration are required to register with the X.

b) Y is a type of fighting in which small units engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, potentially to the point of hand-to-hand combat or fighting with hand weapons such as swords or knives. In the typical Y scenario, the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who usually have no easy way to withdraw. Because enemies, hostages/civilians, and fellow operators can be closely intermingled, Y demands a rapid assault and a precise application of lethal force.

2) Who's this kid who might not have probably realized that he shot to fame when he did 19 years back?

3) Connect the picture and the Song 'Up to the Mountain' by Patty Griffin to a historic moment in Entertainment.

Seeing how not a single quiz has been put up after the kickass WC quiz, and also how Themee @Soopy @ Sammy doesn't seem to have his full quiz at hand, let's start off with uploading a not-so-Shiva-KQA-hifunda quiz ( :D ) which was conducted by the Shtud for all seasons, on the 17th of October.

Due to large amounts of media, the quiz cannot be uploaded on slideshare, so rapidsharing it is.
